      • What new scientific direction should Cytoscape follow?
      • What is Cytoscape not? Or What does Cytoscape not do? This helps define the scope of Cytoscape, so write down a functionality that Cytoscape could conceivably have, but shouldn't have.
    • Participants break up into groups of ~5-6. Each group discusses the cue cards of the participants in the group and chooses the best one.
    • Groups report back and present the best ideas from each group.
